Back to Mission Dolores
The mission was an interesting thing to see. The original mission was very small and not much to see. The present cathedral was beautiful inside, but so are every other cathedral. Really out of the way to see, would've skipped it if I would've known

It was too hot, and I was too cold. I was hungry but felt sick. There was nothing to look at and the walking was terrible! But I will go back time and time again!

I took the audio tour which I found to be very well done and informative. The history of this place is very interesting and the people working there were very nice.

Mission Delores (1776) is the oldest building still standing in San Francisco, and was where the Catholic missionaries who founded the city for King Carlos III of Spain first settled. Depending on one's views, it is either a symbol of colonial oppression, Hispanic heritage, or the city's historical birthplace.

It's hard to imagine that this church stood among pastures and green hills in the early days of the settlement of San Francisco. Now, it's a little oasis within the bustling city. For movie buffs.... This is the church that Kim Novak visits in the movie "Vertigo".
